Ranking second after Malaysia, Iran has witnessed the highest growth in steel production in the world, an Iranian economic official said.

The countries whose steel production saw a surge in 2022 compared to 2021 are Iran, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Saudi Arabia, Belgium, Pakistan, Argentina, Algeria, and the UAE, according to a member of the board of directors of the Tehran iron and steel guild association.

With a 10.9% hike, Pakistan's growth stands in first place in steel production, while Malaysia and Iran have come second in this regard, Mohammad Sadegh Chitsaz, a member of the management board of Tehran Iron and Steel Union said.

Steel exports reached 2,685,000 tons this year, marking a 2% drop in comparison with the preceding year, he underlined.
